Discovering the IP address of a CPUM card
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH A VM600 RACK
3.3.1.2 Description
CPU-M is the ordering number (PNR) for the CPUM card.
In this PNR (200-595-0SS-xHh):
• SS represents the firmware version.
• x represents the hardware version:
• 1 indicates the standard version of the card.
• 3 indicates the Ethernet redundant version of the card.
• 4 indicates the serial redundant version of the card.
• H increments are for major hardware modifications that can affect product
interchangeability.
• h increments for minor hardware modifications that have no effect on interchangeability.
CF is the ordering number (PNR) for the CompactFlash memory card (containing the
firmware) that is installed on the card.
In this PNR (209-595-300-0SS):
• SS represents the firmware version.
SW_VER is the version of the firmware running on the card. For example, version 075.
SW is the ordering number (PNR) for the firmware (on the CompactFlash memory) that is
installed on the card.
NOTE: The version of firmware running on the CPUM card is given in multiple locations.
For example, 3.3.1 About the version.txt file uses firmware version 075:
CPU-M : xxx-xxx-075-xxx
CF : xxx-xxx-xxx-075
SW_VER : 0.7;5
SW : xxx-xxx-xxx-075.
3.4 Discovering the IP address of a CPUM card
3.4.1 CPUM cards running firmware version 075 or later
If the IP address of a CPUM card is not known, it can always be discovered using a serial
connection to the RS-232 connector on the front panel of the CPUM card and terminal
emulation software. For more information on CPUM card IP addresses, see 4.1 Default IP
address parameters.
The directory structure and configuration files, depend on the version of firmware running on
a CPUM card (see 2 CPUM card directory structure and configuration files). For a CPUM card
running firmware version 075 or later, the IP address information is given in the net.cfg file.
1- Establish serial communications with a CPUM card as described in 3.2 Establishing
serial communications with a CPUM card.
2- At the command prompt (/usr/user # ), type ls, then press ENTER to continue. For
example:
/usr/user # ls
The list command lists the files in the current working directory ( /usr/user ) are
listed, including the net.cfg file which contains the IP address information for a CPUM
card running firmware version 075 or later.
